7 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND EMISSION SUMMARY TABLE This Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling (ESDM) Report was prepared to support an application for amendment to Renewable Energy Approval (REA) Number EXJG6. The ESDM Report was prepared in accordance with s.26 of O. Reg. 419/05 to support the REA application. In addition, guidance in the Ministry publication Procedure for Preparing an Emissions Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report dated March 2009 (ESDM Procedure Document) was followed as appropriate. Toronto Hydro Energy Services Inc. (TH Energy) is proposing to install and operate a Biogas Cogeneration Plant (the Facility) to be located adjacent to the Ashbridges Bay Waste Water Treatment Plant (ABTP) at 7 Leslie St., Toronto, Ontario. The Facility will be comprised of seven (7) biogas-fired reciprocating engine generators, all of which are capable of firing with natural gas under emergency conditions, with one (1) generator also capable of firing with natural gas under normal operating conditions. The Facility will also include the operation of one (1) flare. The Facility is located in a mainly industrial area, with some nearby recreation areas (i.e., public parks and boat club). The proposed TH Energy Facility will generate electricity under the Ontario Power Authority s Process and Systems Upgrade Initiative (PSUI) as part of the SaveOnEnergy program and generate hot water for supply to the adjacent ABTP. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code that applies to the Facility is Other Electric Power Generation (for operation with biogas) and also Fossil-Fuel Electric Power Generation (for operation of one generator with natural gas). As such, the Facility is subject to s. 20 of O.Reg. 419/05. Therefore, the modelled impact of contaminant emissions has been assessed using the U.S. EPA AERMOD model as ½-hour, 1-hour and 24-hour maximum point of impingement (POI) concentrations and the standards listed in Schedule 3 of O.Reg. 419/05, as well as the applicable limits listed in the MOE publication, Summary of Standards and Guidelines to Support Ontario Regulation 419: Air Pollution Local Air Quality dated April 2012 (List of MOE POI Limits). The Emission Summary Table for O.Reg. 419/05 Schedule 3 Contaminants shows a listing of the significant air contaminants with Schedule 3 standards, the total facility maximum emission rate and maximum point-of-impingement (POI) concentration for each contaminant, the Schedule 3 POI limit used to evaluate each contaminant and the maximum percent of the POI limit calculated by dispersion modelling, and the maximum percent of the POI limit. The maximum emission rates for each significant contaminant emitted from the significant sources were calculated in accordance with s. 11 of O.Reg. 419/05 and the data quality assessed following the process outlined in the requirements of the ESDM Procedure Document October 2014 ES-i SENES Consultants

8 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant The Facility will be capable of operating 24-hours per day, 365 days per year. Of the four (4) contaminants listed in the Emission Summary Table that have limits in the List of MOE POI Limits all the predicted POI concentrations are below the corresponding limits; for example the POI concentration of NOx is 166 µg/m 3 for a 24-hr averaging period at 83% of the standard of 200 µg/m 3 and 300 µg/m 3 for a 1-hr averaging period at 75% of the standard of 400 µg/m 3. At 83%, NOx has the highest concentration relative to the corresponding MOE POI Limit. The next highest contaminant is CO at 63% of the standard of 6,000 for a ½-hour averaging period October 2014 ES-ii SENES Consultants

10 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND FACILITY DESCRIPTION This section provides a description of the facility as required by sub paragraph 1 of s. 26(1) of O.Reg. 419/05. Toronto Hydro Energy Services Inc. (TH Energy) is proposing to install and operate a Biogas Cogeneration Plant (the Facility) to be located adjacent to the Ashbridges Bay Waste Water Treatment Plant (ABTP) at 7 Leslie St., Toronto, Ontario. The Facility is located in a mainly industrial area, with some nearby recreation areas (i.e., public parks and boat club). The location of the Facility is presented in Figure 1 Site Location Plan and the land use designation of the site and surrounding area is presented in Figure 2 Land Use Zoning Designation Plan. The location of the discharges from each source is presented in Figure 3 Dispersion Modelling Plan; the location of each of the sources is specified with the source reference number. 1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF ESDM REPORT This ESDM Report was prepared to support an application for an amendment to the existing Renewable Energy Approval (REA) Number EXJG6. The Facility will be comprised of seven (7) biogas-fired reciprocating engine generators, all of which are capable of firing with natural gas under emergency conditions, with one (1) generator also capable of firing with natural gas under normal operating conditions. The Facility will also include the operation of one (1) flare. This Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling (ESDM) Report was prepared in accordance with sub paragraph 1 of s.26 of O. Reg. 419/05. In addition, guidance in the Ministry publication Procedure for Preparing an Emissions Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report dated March 2009 (ESDM Procedure Document) PIBS 3614e02 was followed as appropriate. For ease of review and to promote clarity this ESDM Report is structured to correspond to each of the items listed in the Ministry publication 2009 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Check-list PIBS 5357e. 1.2 DESCRIPTION OF PROCESSES AND NAICS CODE(S) The proposed TH Energy Facility will produce power and thermal energy (in the form of hot water) for the ABTP, utilizing seven (7) engine generator sets that operate on biogas produced by digesters at the adjacent ABTP, with one (1) generator also capable of firing with natural gas under normal operating conditions. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code October SENES Consultants

11 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant that applies to the Facility is Other Electric Power Generation (for operation with biogas) and also Fossil-Fuel Electric Power Generation (for operation of one generator with natural gas). As such, the Facility is subject to s. 20 of O.Reg. 419/05 and the modelled impact of contaminant emissions have been assessed using the U.S. EPA AERMOD model as ½-hour, 1-hour and 24-hour maximum point of impingement (POI) concentrations and the standards listed in Schedule 3 of O.Reg. 419/05, as well as the applicable limits listed in the MOE publication, Summary of Standards and Guidelines to Support Ontario Regulation 419: Air Pollution Local Air Quality dated April 2012 (List of MOE POI Limits). The maximum emission rates for each significant contaminant emitted from the significant sources were calculated in accordance with s. 11 of O.Reg. 419/05 and the data quality assessed following the process outlined in the requirements of the ESDM Procedure Document. 1.3 DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS AND RAW MATERIALS The TH Energy biogas cogeneration plant will utilize biogas produced in existing digesters at the ABTP to generate electricity and thermal energy in the form of hot water. The biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of the biodegradable material in municipal sewage waste at the ABTP facility, and is comprised primarily of methane and carbon dioxide. Currently, the biogas is used as fuel to heat water in existing boilers at the ABTP. If the biogas supply is not sufficient to operate all seven (7) generators then one (1) generator will fire with natural gas under normal operating conditions. The Facility will generate MW of electricity from seven (7) reciprocating engine generators, rated at MW each, under the Ontario Power Authority s Process and Systems Upgrade Initiative (PSUI) as part of the SaveOnEnergy program. Heat resulting from the biogas combustion process in the engine generator sets is recovered from engine cooling, lube oil cooling and from the exhaust flue gases by heat exchangers, which produce the hot water for use at the ABTP. Biogas pipes leading to, and hot water pipes leading from, the TH Energy Facility will be installed across a shared property line. The biogas generators are 4-stroke lean burn reciprocating engines. The engine operates based on the exothermic reaction of combusting biogas and air in a combustion chamber. This creates gases of high temperature and pressure, which are permitted to expand causing the movement of pistons inside each cylinder, which rotate a shaft. The rotational energy produced by the engine is converted to electrical energy by a generator connected to the end of the shaft. Excess heat from the combustion process is directed to a heat recovery unit, which produces hot water and is directed to ABTP. The exhaust gases from the generators exit through separate 0.46 m (18 inch) diameter stacks located 7.5 m above each generator enclosure roof and 12.5 m above grade. Each generators will be located inside an individual enclosure October SENES Consultants

12 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant Digester gas arriving at the site will pass through a treatment system which will require periodic flaring. A 5 m tall enclosed flare will be located adjacent to the east property line. The Facility is subject to the requirements of the new Green Energy Act and Renewable Energy Approvals process (O.Reg. 359/09). The Facility is under 15 MW, therefore an environmental screening as defined under the Ontario Ministry of the Environment s Guide to Environmental Assessment Requirements for Electricity Projects does not apply. The generators are reciprocating engines; therefore, MOE Guideline A-5 also does not apply. In addition, six (6) of the seven (7) reciprocating engines will be fuelled by biogas, therefore the draft policy for reciprocating engines generating power in non-emergency situations also does not apply for these generators. The one (1) engine that can be fuelled by natural gas under normal operating conditions will be equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology and will comply with MOE emission limits for small combustion engine generators. Under emergency conditions only the other six (6) engines will be powered by natural gas to allow ABTP to operate as required. As required under O.Reg.359/09 Section 36, at least 95% of the electricity generated at the facility will be from a renewable energy source. Operations under emergency conditions will be documented and available for verification. Product usages and associated information is provided in greater detail in Appendix A Supporting Calculations. Refer to Table 1 Sources and Contaminants Identification Table, which tabulates the individual sources of emissions at the Facility. 1.4 PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM Refer to Figure 4 Process Flow Diagram for a simplified graphical representation of the process at the Facility. 1.5 OPERATING SCHEDULE The Facility will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. 1.6 FACILITY PRODUCTION LIMIT The Facility will be capable of generating MW of electricity for the ABTP. The MW will be derived from seven (7) MW biogas reciprocating engine generators (see Appendix D Manufacturer s Specifications) October SENES Consultants

13 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 2.0 INITIAL IDENTIFICATION OF SOURCES AND CONTAMINANTS The following section provides an initial identification of all the sources and contaminants emitted at the Facility, as required by sub paragraphs 2 to 4 of s.26(1) of O.Reg. 419/05. There may be general ventilation from the Facility that only discharges uncontaminated air from the workspaces or air from the workspace that may include contaminants that come from commercial office supplies, building maintenance products or supplies and activities; these types of ventilation sources are considered to be negligible and were not identified as sources at the Facility. 2.1 SOURCES AND CONTAMINANTS IDENTIFICATION TABLE Table 1 Sources and Contaminants Identification Table tabulates all of the emission sources and contaminants expected from the Facility. This table provides the information required by sub paragraphs 2 to 4 of s. 26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. The expected contaminants emitted from each source are also identified in Table 1; for example, the expected contaminants emitted from the biogas generator stacks are NOx, TSP, CO and SO2. Each of the identified sources has been assigned a source reference number, for example the biogas generators have been designated STCK-1 to STCK-7. The location of the discharges from each of the significant sources is presented in Figure 3 Dispersion Modelling Plan; the location of each significant source is specified with the source reference number October SENES Consultants

14 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 3.0 ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CONTAMINANTS AND SOURCES This section provides an explanation for each source identified as negligible in Table 1 Sources and Contaminants Identification Table, as required by sub paragraph 5 of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. In accordance with s.8 of O. Reg. 419/05 emission rate calculations and dispersion modelling do not have to be performed for emissions from negligible sources or for the emission of negligible contaminants from significant sources. 3.1 IDENTIFICATION OF NEGLIGIBLE SOURCES AND CONTAMINANTS Of the eight (8) sources listed in Table 1 Sources and Contaminants Identification Table, no sources have been identified as negligible; all eight (8) sources are considered significant. For example, biogas fired generator (STCK-1) is considered a significant source. These sources were included in the dispersion modelling for the site. Some contaminants have been identified as negligible. 3.2 RATIONALE FOR ASSESSMENT For each contaminant in Table 1 that has been identified as negligible, there is an accompanying documented rationale, for example the rationale for H2S from the flare as negligible is Table B-1 of the ESDM Procedure Document Screened out with dispersion factors. The technical information required to substantiate the argument that each of the identified contaminants is negligible is presented in Appendix B Supporting Information for Assessment of Negligibility October SENES Consultants

15 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 4.0 OPERATING CONDITIONS, EMISSION ESTIMATING AND DATA QUALITY This section provides a description of the operating conditions used in the calculation of the emission estimates and an assessment of the data quality of the emission estimates for each significant contaminant from the Facility as required by sub paragraphs 6 and 7 of s. 26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. In accordance with s. 8 of O. Reg. 419/05, emission rate calculations and dispersion modelling do not have to be performed for emissions from negligible sources or for the emission of negligible contaminants from significant sources. 4.1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING CONDITIONS Paragraph 1 of subsection 10(1) of O. Reg. 419/05 states that the approved dispersion model must be used with the operating conditions that result in the maximum POI concentration for each significant contaminant, according to the averaging period for the relevant MOE POI Limit corresponding to that contaminant. The operating condition that corresponds to the maximum POI concentration may occur when the Facility is at the maximum production level or running at a lower level or the process of transition. In preparing this ESDM Report, all operating scenarios for all the significant sources at the Facility were assessed for the contaminants that are relevant to this application for an Environmental Compliance Approval under section 9 of the EPA. For each significant contaminant, and according to the averaging period for the relevant MOE POI Limit corresponding to that contaminant, the operating scenario used for this Facility that results in the maximum POI concentration is the scenario where all significant sources are operating simultaneously at their individual maximum rates of production. In accordance with paragraph 6 of subsection 26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05, Appendix A of this ESDM Report includes a description of the operating condition for each contaminant that is emitted in significant amounts, including a description of the operating conditions of the significant sources that result in the maximum POI concentration for the contaminant, ensuring that the operating conditions correspond to the averaging period of the MOE POI Limit(s). Conservatism has been built into the emission estimates by assuming that all pieces of equipment are operating concurrently, that the seven (7) engine generators are operating at maximum design capacity when firing with biogas and that the flare is operating at maximum capacity for three (3) hours during a single day. Modelling has been completed based on simultaneous maximum operations for the seven (7) generators and the flare October SENES Consultants

16 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 4.2 EXPLANATION OF THE METHODS USED TO CALCULATE EMISSION RATES The maximum ½-hour, 1-hour and 24-hour emission rates for each significant contaminant emitted from the significant sources were calculated in accordance with requirements of the ESDM Procedure Document. The emission rate for each significant contaminant emitted from a significant source was estimated and the methodology for the calculation is documented in Table 2 Source Summary Table. For example, the emission of NOx from the biogas-fired generators (STCK-1 to STCK-7) were calculated using an emission factor (EF) technique. 4.3 SAMPLE CALCULATIONS The technical rationale, including sample calculations, required to substantiate emission rates presented in Table 2 Source Summary Table is documented in Appendix A Supporting Calculations. 4.4 ASSESSMENT OF DATA QUALITY This section provides a description of the assessment of the data quality of the emission estimates for each significant contaminant from the facility, as required by sub paragraph 7iii of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. The assessment of the data quality of the emission rate estimates for each significant contaminant emitted from the significant sources was performed in accordance with the requirements of sub paragraph 7iii of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. For example, the emissions of NOx from the biogasfired generators (STCK-1 to STCK-7) were estimated using manufacturer supplied emission factors and were applied to the maximum rate of operation for each generator. Therefore, the emission rate estimate is not likely to be an underestimate of the actual emissions rates and use of these emission rates will result in a calculated concentration at POI greater the actual concentrations. These sources were documented as having Data Quality of Average, which is generally acceptable according to requirements of the ESDM Procedure Document. For each contaminant, the emission rate was estimated and the data quality for the estimate was documented in Table 2 Source Summary Table. The assessment of data quality for each source listed in Table 2 is documented in Appendix A Supporting Calculations. All the emission rates listed in Table 2 are documented as having Average Data Quality and correspond to the operating scenario where each of the eight (8) significant sources are operating at their individual maximum rates of operation. Therefore, the emissions listed in Table 2 are not October SENES Consultants

17 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant likely to be an underestimate of the actual emission rates and use of these emission rates will result in a calculated concentration at POI at least as high as the actual concentrations October SENES Consultants

18 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 5.0 SOURCE SUMMARY AND SITE PLAN This section provides the table required by sub paragraph 8 and the site plan required by sub paragraph 9 of s. 26(1) of O. Reg. 419/ SOURCE SUMMARY TABLE The emission rate estimates for each source of significant contaminants are documented in Table 2 Source Summary Table in accordance with the requirements of sub paragraph 8 of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. For each source of significant contaminants the following parameters are referenced: Contaminant, Chemical Abstract Society (CAS) reference number, Source reference number, Source description, Stack parameters (flow rate, exhaust temperature, diameter, height above grade, height above roof), Location referenced to local UTM coordinate systems presented on Figure 3 Dispersion Modelling Plan, Maximum emission rate, Averaging period, Emission estimating technique, Estimation data quality, and Percentage of overall emission. 5.2 SITE PLAN The locations of the emission sources listed in Table 2 Source Summary Table are presented in Figure 3 Dispersion Modelling Plan; the location of each of the significant sources is specified with the source name. The location of the property line is indicated on Figure 3, with the end points of each section of the property-line clearly referenced to the UTM coordinate system (NAD 83, Zone 17). The location of each source is referenced to the UTM coordinate system in Table 2 Source Summary Table. The heights of the structures that are part of the Facility are also indicated in Figure 3. Figure 3 shows the site layout and the location of modeled sources drawn to scale. The property line coordinates are summarized with the modeling parameters in Section 6.0. Figures 1 and 2 show the general site area and zoning respectively. There are no child care facilities on the property October SENES Consultants

19 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 6.0 AIR DISPERSION MODELLING This section provides a description of how the dispersion modelling was completed for the Facility to predict the maximum POI concentrations, as required by sub paragraphs 10 to 13 of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. The Facility is subject to s.20 of O.Reg. 419/05. Therefore, the modelled impact of contaminant emissions has been assessed using the U.S. EPA AERMOD model as ½-hour, 1-hour and 24-hour maximum point of impingement (POI) concentrations and compared to O.Reg. 419/05 Schedule 3 standards. Dispersion modelling was completed in accordance with the MOE s Air Dispersion Modelling Guideline for Ontario, Version 2.0 dated March 2009 (ADMGO). A general description of the input data used in the dispersion model is provided below and summarized in Table 3. The AERMOD modelling system has been identified by the MOE as one of the approved dispersion models under O. Reg. 419/05, and currently includes the Plume Rise Model Enhancements (PRIME) algorithms for assessing the effects of buildings on air dispersion. The use of a more refined model, such as AERMOD, is necessary when assessing air quality against Schedule 3 Standards. It is also applicable to rural and urban areas, flat and complex terrain, surface and elevated releases, and multiple sources (including point, area, and volume sources). The AERMOD modelling system is made up of the AERMOD dispersion model, the AERMET meteorological pre-processor and the AERMAP terrain pre-processor. The following approved dispersion model and pre-processors were used in the assessment: AERMOD dispersion model; AERMAP surface pre-processor ; and, BPIP building downwash pre-processor. AERMET was not used in this assessment as a pre-processed MOE meteorological dataset was used October SENES Consultants

20 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 6.1 DISPERSION MODELING INPUT SUMMARY TABLE A description of the way in which the approved dispersion model was used is provided in Table 3 Dispersion Modelling Input Summary Table. This table meets both the requirements of s.26(1)11 and sections 8-17 of O. Reg. 419/05 and follows the format provided in the ESDM Procedure Document. As per Section 4.5 of the ADMGO, the significant sources at the Facility were classified as either point or volume sources. The source data required for each source was determined according to the procedures provided in the ADMGO. The locations of the eight (8) modelled sources are shown in Figure 3 Dispersion Modelling Plan. The location of the property line in relation to the dispersion modelling sources is also presented in Figure COORDINATE SYSTEM The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, as per Section of the ADMGO, was used to specify model object sources, buildings and receptors. All coordinates were defined in the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). 6.3 METEOROLOGY AND LAND USE DATA In this assessment, the AERMOD model was run using a MOE pre-processed 5-year dispersion meteorological dataset (i.e., surface and profile files), last updated in 2007, in accordance with paragraph 1 of s.13(1) of O. Reg. 419/05. As the Facility is located in the geographical coverage of the MOE Toronto District Office, the meteorological dataset for the Central Region was used. Sub paragraph 10 of s.26(1) of O. Reg. 419/05 requires a description of the local land use conditions if meteorological data, as described in paragraph 2 of s.13(l) of O. Reg. 419/05, was used. The land use surrounding the Facility is characterized as industrial, with some nearby recreation areas (i.e., public parks and boat club) and Lake Ontario to the south, as illustrated in Figure 2 - Land Use Zoning Designation Plan and Figure 5 3 km Satellite Image. As a result, the MOE s Crops meteorological dataset is used. As described in Section 6.6 of the ADMGO, for 1-hour concentrations, the 8-hours with the highest 1-hour average predicted concentrations in each single meteorological year may be discarded. For 24-hour concentrations, the highest 24-hour average predicted concentration in each meteorological year may be discarded. For compliance assessments the MOE will consider the highest concentration after elimination of these meteorological anomalies. Meteorological anomalies were discarded for the model runs October SENES Consultants

21 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant 6.4 TERRAIN Terrain data used in this assessment was obtained from the MOE (7.5 minute format) and is illustrated in Figure 6. DEM files used in this assessment include: 0874_2.DEM 0874_3.DEM 0875_2.DEM 0875_3.DEM 0876_2.DEM 0876_3.DEM 6.5 RECEPTORS Receptors were chosen based on recommendations provided in Section 7.1 of the ADMGO, which is in accordance with s.14 of O. Reg. 419/05. Specifically, a nested receptor grid, centered on the main stacks, was placed as follows: a) 20 m spacing within 200 m; b) 50 m spacing from m; c) 100 m spacing from 500-1,000 m; d) 200 m spacing from 1,000-2,000 m; and, e) 500 m spacing from 2,000-5,000 m. In addition to using the nested receptor grid, receptors were also placed every 10 metres along the property line. The area of modelling coverage is illustrated in Figure 7 Dispersion Modelling Receptors. There is no child care facility, health care facility, senior's residence, long-term care facility or an educational facility located at the Facility. Furthermore, the nearest POI is located greater than 5 metres from the area from which the point of emissions are located. As such, same structure contamination was not considered. 6.6 BUILDING DOWNWASH A building or structure is considered sufficiently close to a stack to cause wake effects when the distance between the stack and the nearest part of the building is less than or equal to five (5) times the lesser of the building height or the projected width of the building. All buildings and structures within the Area of Influence were input into the current version of the U.S. EPA s Building Profile Input Program for Prime (BPIP-PRIME) for calculating downwash effects. The inputs into this October SENES Consultants

22 Emission Summary and Dispersion Modelling Report Toronto Hydro Biogas Cogeneration Plant pre-processor include the coordinates and heights of the buildings and stacks. The output data from BPIP is used in the AERMOD building wake effect calculations. The PRIME plume rise algorithms include vertical wind shear calculations (important for buoyant releases from short stacks [i.e., stacks at release heights within the recirculation zones of buildings]). The PRIME algorithm also allows for the wind speed deficit induced by the building to change with respect to the distance from the building. These factors improve the accuracy of predicted concentrations within building wake zones that form in the lee of buildings. The BPIP input file is provided in Appendix C (Dispersion Modelling Data). 6.7 AVERAGING TIMES The shortest time scale that AERMOD predicts is a 1-hour average value. Schedule 3 standards of O. Reg. 419/05 have been applied to this Facility; all of these standards, except carbon monoxide, are based on 1-hour or 24-hour averaging times, which are easily provided by AERMOD. Carbon monoxide has a half-hour averaging period. In this case, a conversion from a 1 hour averaging period to the appropriate half-hour averaging period was completed using the MOE recommended conversion factor of 1.2, as documented in the ADMGO. This was completed within the concentration converter within Lakes Software interface. 6.8 DISPERSION MODELLING OPTIONS The options used in the AERMOD dispersion model are summarized in the table below. Modelling Parameter Description Used in this assessment? DFAULT Specifies that regulatory default options will be used Yes CONC Specifies that concentration values will be calculated Yes BETA Specifies that capped and horizontal stack releases will be used No DDPLETE Specifies that dry deposition will be calculated No WDPLETE Specifies that wet deposition will be calculated No FLAT Specifies that the non-default option of assuming flat terrain will be used No NOSTD Specifies that the non-default option of no stacktip downwash will be used No AVERTIME Time averaging periods calculated 1-hr and 24-hr October SENES Consultants

Reg. 419/05 and provides an interpretation of the results as required by the ESDM Procedure Document. 7.1 EMISSION SUMMARY TABLE A POI concentration for each significant contaminant emitted from the Facility was calculated for each operating scenario based on the calculated emission rates listed in Table 2 Source Summary Table and the output from the approved dispersion model presented in Appendix C. The results are presented in Table 4 Emission Summary Table. This table follows the format provided in the ESDM Procedure Document. For each source of significant contaminants the following parameters are referenced: Contaminant name, Chemical Abstract Society (CAS) reference number, Total facility emission rate, Approved dispersion model used, Maximum POI concentration, Averaging period for the dispersion modelling, MOE POI limit, Indication of the limiting effect, Schedule in Regulation 419/05, and The percentage of standard or indication of the likelihood of an adverse effect. The POI concentrations listed in Table 4 were compared against criteria listed in the Summary of Standards and Guidelines to Support Ontario Regulation 419: Air Pollution Local Air Quality dated April 2012 (List of Ministry POI Limits). Of the four (4) contaminants listed in the Emission Summary Table that have limits in the List of MOE POI Limits all the predicted POI concentrations are below the corresponding limits; for example the POI concentration of NOx is 166 µg/m 3 for a 24-hr averaging period at 83% of the standard of 400 µg/m 3 and 300 µg/m 3 for a 1-hr averaging period at 75% of the standard of 200 µg/m 3. At 83%, NOx has the highest concentration relative to the corresponding MOE POI Limit. The next highest contaminant is CO at 63% of the standard of 6,000 for a ½-hour averaging period. It should be noted that per Section 6.6 of the ADMGO anomalous meteorological conditions were not considered. This was completed by the Lakes Software model interface where the October SENES Consultants

Reg. 419/05 requires an indication of the likelihood, nature and location of any adverse effect if the contaminant is not listed in any of Schedules 1, 2 and 3. All contaminants in this assessment have MOE POI limits. 7.3 CONCLUSIONS The ESDM Report was prepared in accordance with s.26 of O. Reg. 419/05. In addition, guidance in the ESDM Procedure Document was followed as appropriate. The Facility is subject to s. 20 of O.Reg. 419/05. Therefore, the modelled impact of contaminant emissions has been assessed using the U.S. EPA AERMOD model as 1-hour and 24-hour maximum point of impingement (POI) concentrations and compared to O.Reg. 419/05 Schedule 3 standards. The emission rate estimates for each source of significant contaminants are documented in Table 2 Source Summary Table. Data quality for both sources is considered to be Average. Conservatism has been built into the emissions estimates by choosing maximum production capacity, simultaneous operation, and conservative parameters for use in the calculations. Emissions are not likely to be under predicted from the site. A POI concentration for each significant contaminant emitted from the Facility was calculated based on the calculated emission rates and the output from the U.S. EPA AERMOD model (an approved dispersion model); the results are presented in Table 4 Emission Summary Table. The POI concentrations listed in Table 4 were compared against criteria listed in the Summary of Standards and Guidelines to Support Ontario Regulation 419: Air Pollution Local Air Quality dated April 2012 (List of Ministry POI Limits). Of the four (4) contaminants listed in the Emission Summary Table that have limits in the List of MOE POI Limits all the predicted POI concentrations are below the corresponding limits; for example the POI concentration of NOx is 166 µg/m 3 for a 24-hr averaging period at 83% of the standard of 200 µg/m 3 and 300 µg/m 3 for a 1-hr averaging period at 75% of the standard of 400 µg/m 3. At 83%, NOx has the highest concentration relative to the corresponding MOE POI Limit. The next highest contaminant is CO at 63% of the standard of 6,000 for a ½-hour averaging period. This ESDM Report demonstrates that the Facility can operate in compliance with O. Reg. 419/ October SENES Consultants

For isolated operation an output reduction may apply according to the block load diagram. Before being able to provide exact output numbers, a detailed site load profile needs to be provided (motor starting curves, etc.). All pressure indications are to be measured and read with pressure gauges (psi.g.).
